The inherent reliability and safety of collaborative robots allow their application in the healthcare industry, e.g. for neuromuscular rehabilitation. This work proposes a mechatronic implementation of a platform for rehabilitation practices. A case study has been developed with different control laws of the robot for the restoring of the coordination of upper limbs through grasping exercises. Preliminary experiments are conducted on ten healthy volunteers. No adverse events occurred and trajectory and force data were collected in order to track the therapy. Results show that the exercise is sufficiently simple and nonstressing with the provided robotic law.

Abstract
The inherent reliability and safety of collaborative robots allow their application in the healthcare industry, e.g. for neuromuscular rehabilitation. This work proposes a mechatronic implementation of a platform for rehabilitation practices. A case study has been developed with different control laws of the robot for the restoring of the coordination of upper limbs through grasping exercises. Preliminary experiments are conducted on ten healthy volunteers. No adverse events occurred and trajectory and force data were collected in order to track the therapy. Results show that the exercise is sufficiently simple and nonstressing with the provided robotic law.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
